NEWTOWN -- A day after letting a five-run lead slip away in a 7-6 loss to Staples, Newtown bounced back in a big way as Pat Mullins pitched a no-hitter in a 5-0 win over Fairfield Ludlowe Thursday.

The senior right-hander struck out six and walked two while throwing 86 pitches.

"He dominated the game," Newtown coach Matt Memoli said. "He kept every hitter off balance with his curveball and had complete command with his fastball. He was ahead of every hitter."

Mullins also helped himself at the plate with a pair of doubles.
